What is the benefit of Smart Ticketing?
Smart Ticketing lets you pay your own way for public transport. Many of us are now used to tapping to pay for our daily coffee and groceries, and you'll be able to tap on and off to pay for your travel.
Smart Ticketing makes paying for your travel convenient, easy, and safe.
How safe is Smart Ticketing?
Smart Ticketing prioritises safety and security, especially when it comes to personal data and payment information. Between Translink and banking partners, there are multiple layers of security to keep your details safe.
Just like any other transaction with contactless payment technology, your transactions are safe, secure and touch free.
